Would make sense. If we deal with Chelsea demand Batshuayi in part exchange. If it is Man Utd demand Martial in part exchange.Exclusive: Everton demand Chelsea star as part of Lukaku move
Date published: Monday 5th June 2017 9:53
Everton have told Chelsea they would like Michy Batshuayi as part of any deal to take Romelu Lukaku back to Stamford Bridge, TEAMtalk has been told.
"Chelsea and Everton have been talking for weeks over a deal, with Everton wanting close to £100milion and Chelsea looking at nearer £80million – but now it seems a player in exchange could help.
Chelsea are more than happy to include Belgian Batshuayi – but we’ve learnt the striker has also been told of Monaco’s interest in him, and he would prefer a move to the Prinicipality, if given the option.
Chelsea are also locked in talks with Monaco about midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, though that move appears to have stalled in recent days over their desire to land Batshuayi.
The Blues have since looked at Lyon’s Corentin Tolisso as an alternative should any deal for Bakayoko officially hit the rocks.
And with Chelsea preferring to move Batshuayi on to Everton as part of a swoop for Lukaku, Antonio Conte’s side are likely to face a tough choice in the coming days over which transfer is their priority.
Everton are busy scouring the market for a replacement for Lukaku and on Sunday were linked with Leicester’s Jamie Vardy.
However, Batshuayi is Ronald Koeman’s top choice as the Toffees finally come to terms with life without their talismanic frontman."
Yes I know "Teamtalk" but hey it's a transfer rumour so let's run with it! Think it's Graeme Bailey who is behind that though and he's a respected? Journalist who used to work for Sky.
I would never say I'd be happy losing Lukaku, but if he's going to go anyway no matter what, then this would probably be the best deal for me and would definitely soften the blow.
He looks a decent finisher and could score a fair few goals for us with regular games. If we could get him and say 40 million on top I don't think that's the worst scenario in the world.
Plus, our fan base couldn't spell Radzinski or Gravesen... I think we're best off steering clear of this lad.
Not really.
We have previous of buying players with difficult last names, for this reason alone I think this could be on
Why not. You don't rate Batshuayi or is it the fact that swap deals nearly never happen?
Well a little bit of the first one (he's hardly looked great in the PL)... and a LOT of the second one.
How much of a chance did he actually get at Chelsea. Was he even a Conte buy? Personally think he has a lot of potential and could probably a job for us.
